10/10/08- After falling behind 0-2 in their CACC match last night at Post University the Lady Warrior volleyball team mounted a dramatic comeback by taking the next two sets to even the match at 2-2, only to drop the 5th and deciding set and lose the match, 19-25, 17-25, 25-17, 25-21, 5-15. After avoiding a sweep, Nyack was unable to carry the momentum from evening the match into the pivotal 5th set.
